The Pilot is a small SUV built by Honda. As the miles add up, your SUV will eventually experience mechanical problems. One such issue that can occur is a clicking sound from one or more wheels. Troubleshooting this problem requires that you determine exactly when the clicking noise occurs -- while you are driving, while braking or while turning.
A clicking sound while driving increases when the Pilot accelerates and decreases when the SUV slows down. This is typically minor and may be caused by debris in the center cap or hubcap, or a piece of gravel or other debris stuck in the tire.
A clicking sound that occurs when you are braking is a sign of a problem with the brakes on your Pilot. One possibility is that the shims holding the brake pads have worn out, causing the pads to slip up and down slightly. The other possibility is that a brake caliper has come loose.
A clicking noise from the wheels when you are turning the Pilot indicates a mechanical problem. The most likely explanation is that the CV joint inside the front driving axle is failing and the defective part creates a clicking noise when you turn to one direction.
